Stephanie is a seasoned criminal practitioner, having spent over 17 years representing clients from all backgrounds from celebrities, athletes, high net worth individuals, professionals to students and children. She prides herself in her unique approach to her cases and her ability to proactively conclude proceedings swiftly to the benefit of the client. She works tirelessly on all her cases and is always available to her clients, which allows her to develop a close and successful working relationship. Stephanie also acts for a number of vulnerable clients such as those with special educational needs and disabilities approaching cases with empathy and understanding. She's also developed an excellent reputation in regulatory work which has developed alongside her criminal practice as there’s often an overlap in the two areas.

Stephanie was called to the Bar of England and Wales in 2006, before cross-qualifying to become a solicitor. She trained and worked at top ranked London criminal firms undertaking a full range of both general and business crime cases as a Solicitor and Higher Court Advocate. Prior to setting up Roe Lawyers, Stephanie's practice had largely become privately funded with cases being referred as a result of her well-deserved reputation as a top-class London solicitor.
